The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), in conjunction with several other State agencies, recently launched a new data monitoring program to provide insights into many Florida waterways. With the objective of easily sharing water and weather data between State and Federal agencies and with the general public, FDEP chose to utilize Stevens-Connect system to process, display, and store data online.

Introduced by Stevens Water Monitoring Systems, Inc. in 2010, Stevens-Connect is a web-based software program residing on highly secured, remote servers within the Internet cloud. The program automatically collects data from any type of remote sensor or data logger. This data can be presented directly as graphs, charts, forms, or tabular format on a dedicated website that can be accessed from any computer or smart phone with Internet access.

Currently connecting 10 monitoring stations across the State of Florida and with plans for more sites to be connected in the future, Stevens-Connect enables the FDEP and other partnering agencies to efficiently and effectively manage the availability and quality of the State of Florida’s water ways.

The CTD Diver from Schlumberger Water Services is setting a new standard for goundwater measurement. Measuring only 5.3 inches long by 0.8 inches in diameter, the CTD Diver is small enough for most applications, and its ceramic casing resists corrosion in harsh environments.

With on-board memory for thousands of measurements and an integrated battery designed to last for up to 10 years of field use, the CTD Diver is ideal for use in remote areas or where other power sources and data loggers are not available.

In addition to water level and temperature measurement, the CTD Diver includes conductivity measurement as well, with a range of 10 µS/cm to 120 mS/cm and an accuracy of ±1%.

The Stevens SDX is a low-cost, robust liquid level sensor that is ideal for most applications and well-suited for harsh environments that put more expensive sensors at risk of damage or loss. The SDX features fully-potted electronics inside of a tough housing made from PVC Type-II plastic.

The sensor housing is fitted with a removable anti-fouling copper nose cone which helps ensure that the SDX remains in a vertical position and free of biological fouling. Tank and pipe mounting has been enhanced by the new PVC Type II housing material that includes integrated threads in two locations.

The new SDX is available now from Stevens Water for just $295.00 plus cable. The sensor is offered in measurement ranges of 0 - 5 ft, 0 - 10 ft, 0 - 35 ft, and 0 - 50 ft, all with 4-20 mA output.
